Newslex Point News in Uganda, Uganda news
Politicians have been using it so much against the government saying it has completely failed to fight corruption regardless of all the moves. Museveni at some point had a 10 point program to fight corruption however, we don’t know how far it went.
In her anti-corruption moves, the Inspector-General of Government has been very tough recently about corruption. She even tasked children to ask their parents where their wealth came from.
For her, it’s the responsibility of everyone to fight corruption though there are people who were specifically appointed to do this.
Miria Matembe while on NBS TV morning show said the ongoing corruption is caused by degeneration in ethics.
“The underlying cause of corruption is degeneration of ethical issues. People are driven by power and wealth. As long as it is that way, no strategy will end corruption.”
She noted that the only way corruption will not thrive is when the president doesn’t want to. According to her nothing, he is against continues to breathe.
“If the President doesn’t want corruption, corruption won’t thrive. Let me ask you, is there anything that Museveni wants that he doesn’t get?”
Meanwhile, the president will probably give a report on how far the country has gone using his 10 point program strategy.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
